THIS REEL, made me a Daiwa Fan!

Wanted a "step-up" from the super durable Shimano TR-100G, that I use for all my charter reels. I wanted a power handle, a star drag with a clicking adjustment, a super tough levelwind, all aluminum. That I can cast jigs with, rip a giant top water plug with, and be a "personal reel".

ProsThe bench mark for me as I said above was the Shimano TR-100G work horse conventional level-wind, star drag reel in which I have 16 of, and use daily for charter fishing with customers. But wondered if there was a step up out there in reel land, that wasn't terribly expensive, and would suit my days of personal fishing.
YES THERE IS! And the saltist H-C is durable as any with so many features that I was in the need for.
And now, I'm a DAIWA guy! These HC reels have made a Fan outa me!
Clicking adjustment star drag
AUTO-ENGAGING.....with a 1/2 turn of the massive reel handle!!!!!!!!
Bullet-proof, almost over sized level wind mechanism
Loads of bearings for super smooth operation
AND...........6.1-1 GEAR RATIO!
Yes a heavy duty saltwater contender, that feels like a MANS reel in your hands.

wow

very impressed with this reel. A smooth and predictable casting reel this new Daiwa has won me over completely. I fish the cape cod canal and have added to my casting distance significantly with this reel. I would recommend this reel to anyone.

Good day, I am an interested to buy your roll LW20H-C, but I'm curious whether it is possible to adjust / regulate or slow down the free spool on some kind of way. I watched a video on you tube but I could not see
Thank you in advance for your reply

Yes. There is a control knob that allows you to adjust the tension on the spool.
